biography

Nape began his political career by being elected as a member of the House of Assembly. On May 28, 2004 he was elected to succeed Bill Skate as Speaker of Parliament .

This was associated with both the Office of the Acting Governor General (Acting Governor General), since the Office of the Governor General since the departure of Governor General Sir Silas Atopare was vacant on 20 November 2003 and is exercised by the Constitution of Speaker of Parliament in such cases. On June 29, 2004, he handed the office over to the newly appointed Governor General Paulias Matane .

After the general parliamentary elections in 2007, he was re-elected Speaker of Parliament on August 13, 2007 and was able to prevail in the vote with 86 to 22 votes against the opposition candidate Bart Philemon . On the same day he was sworn in by Governor General Sir Paulias Matane.

On March 10, 2010, there was an uproar in parliament when Nape received a motion of no confidence from opposition MP Sam Basil, the support of Bart Philemon and a backbencher of the governing coalition, Thompson Harokaqveh, as inadmissible, as in his opinion against the parliamentary president such a vote of no confidence is inadmissible. The reason for Basil's resignation was the poor condition of the parliament building with regard to the toilets, air conditioning and poor food in the parliament canteen and the unperceived remedy for which, according to Basil, the speaker of parliament is responsible. Nape's behavior was also rejected as illegal by former Prime Minister and current Governor of New Ireland Province , Julius Chan .

From December 13, 2010 to December 20, 2010 Jeffery Nape was acting Governor General for the second time.
